This is to follow Oliver's suggestion to mail this reply to _ooo-dev@incubator.apache.org_ (mailto:ooo-dev@incubator.apache.org) , and to reply to his email... The autostarting of a "deactivated" Apache OO v3.4 problem is probably unrelated to the v3.4.1 upgrade. My program starts no matter what I try. It has never been activated either from the tray icon or the usual Tools/Options menu. I have gone into msconfig and can find nothing there that would indicate a programmed startup. I've even used the AOL Computer Checkup function, with which I can supposedly keep any program from starting, but that doesn't keep the v3.4 Apache upgrade from autostarting. The source from which I installed the v3.4 was I would think the usual source. From the old OO, I was informed there was an upgrade available and clicked on that. IIRC, I was sent to an Apache OO web page where I downloaded and installed the new v3.4. I have had this autostart problem ever since. I was on vacation for a week, which is why this late reply. I still need a fix for this. It's tedious to have to close Apache Open Office each and every time I login, whether or not I restart the computer. Please help!

The problem which will be fixed in AOO 3.4.1 does not look like the one which you are describing. What we are fixing in AOO 3.4.1 is that an active quickstarter does not open a window on every login. What you are describing seems to be something like that even with an deactivated quickstarter AOO 3.4 is starting on every login. As I am not an expert in this area I am asking you to come back to our public mailing list ooo-dev@incubator.apache.org. Thus, other community members can pick up the problem. By the way, you are suspecting that your AOO 3.4 is piggybacking on a different program. Do you remember from which source you get your AOO 3.4 installation package?
